Abstract

West Bengal experiences severe hot, humid summer and rainy season with higher precipitation rate, which makes the management of silkworm rearing very difficult. As a result, farmers of West Bengal fetch poor return owing to low productivity of cocoons. In this context it is important to manage silkworm rearing properly. In order to manage a profitable silkworm rearing it is indispensable to make proper planning prior to the initiation of silkworm rearing, management during the rearing of young age silkworms, late age silkworms and mounting and harvesting cocoons.
